The Haggis Box in Edinburgh, City of

Superb place! Delicious haggis in affordable price - whisky sauce is on another level. The staff here is really friendly. I can recommend The Haggis Box to everyone who wants to try Haggis for the first time - notice that they also have vegetarian and vegan version of the haggis😄

Haggis is a must try when you're in Scotland and I definitely recommend trying it at this place. Not your usual restaurant / cafe / pub setting but rather a 'box office'-turned-kitchen inside the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Cheerful and friendly staff. We ordered their Haggis Neeps & Tatties with Whiskey & Mustard sauce at a reasonable price which comes in a decent portion size. The dish was brilliant! Each element had its own flavour not being overpowered by others. We enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommend this place.

Perfect for some cheeky scran xx Ordered the veggie haggis and the whisky sauce was absolutely delightful

Delicious vegetarian haggis with neeps and tatties, covered with a whisky and mustard sauce. So good I had to go back twice!

I had no idea about haggis due to my 1 day trip to Scotland, I was baffled by the options they gave but they broke it down for me.

Very rich! Excellent atmosphere! I recommend!

The staff were really friendly and the food was very nice, easy to get along with, and smiling which is contagious. Another bonus is they have haggis plushies!

A great Haggis. The place is very quiet despite being in a central area.

Great spot for a good meal and amazing hospitality.

I was so scared to try haggis because the description sounded off-putting. I finally mustered up the courage and made a stop at The Haggis Box after reading other Google reviews. I ordered the Haggis over Neeps and Tatties with the Auchentoshan whisky & mustard sauce. Oh my stars, it was SPECTACULAR and made me a haggis convert. Please do give it a try! The Haggis Box makes it a delicious experience! Also, I want to comment that the staff are all so lovely and kind! The restaurant itself is very bright and clean!

Very tasty haggis - both the traditional and the veggi version! Nice staff & cozy atmosphere (:

Very tasty haggis. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Recommended!

Nothing is as satisfying as food that stays in your memory longer than the memories of the trip. For me it's a revelation, I think it will be a reason to come back. I recommend.

Great place to try haggis and great place to go back to for a quick meal. I was a haggis virgin and the haggis box was recommended. I ordered it as recommended with the whiskey mustard sauce and could have licked the plate it was so good. The hubby ordered a BLT roll and his was also incredible. The place is setup more like cafeteria than restaurant but I would come here again and again for the food and friendly service!!!

Had their haggis in their catering van at the Royal Highland Show. Then i had to visit their permanent cafe on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It's in an interesting building too! Great haggis served in the traditional way. Haggis is a must try if you are a visitor, this is the best place for it!

Gluten Free GF haggis, nice casual vibe, good price

A perfect place to discover this famous specialty, their traditional haggis, served with a whiskey and mustard sauce, is simply incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced and every bite is a delight

Fantastic fare, especially the Haggis, and friendly employees.

Very interesting place! I appreciate that you have a vegan haggis so I could try Scottish traditional food. Also very lovely staff

Amazing Haggis, Excellent Scotch eggs! Great service!

Awesome place to have a solid Haggis. Had haggis the night before as a starter but the portion was teeny. Went here for a proper serving and wasn’t disappointed. Lovely quiet setting with solid wood furniture inside what feels like a community hall -a very unique vibe. I sat at the window and watched all the tourists scurry around while I gorged myself on the offal and oats that make up a classic haggis. I highly recommend you do the same.

Really nice place! Tried my first haggis and it was really tasty! Must try with the whiskey and mustard

Fantastic Haggis. Traditional with Whiskey Mustard sauce is a winner. 🙏

Had some visitors from outside Edinburgh and they wanted to try haggis, good atmosphere friendly staff. We ordered some black americano and some latte too.

Great atmosphere and the haggis was amazing just wish they had more tables

Great, authentic food, but available also as vegan version - very grateful for that.

So good! Can’t recommend enough, haggis was delicious and the staff were really friendly!

Traditional Scottish Haggis, with whisky sauce. Great value

We ordered the soup of the day with oatcakes and regular and veggie haggis. We also tried both sauces and gluten free beers. And it all was absolutely delicious. The place is nice and quiet, the staff is lovely and we would definitely go back again.

Tasty haggis with wisky and mustard sauce I like it

The Haggis Box is inside the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and we ate there while waiting for a show during the Fringe. Haggis, neeps and tatties are on the menu, but we settled for a bacon roll. It was probably one of the best bacon rolls I've had, two nice rashers perfectly cooked in a nice soft roll. Tomato sauce and brown sauce is available as well. Yum! Hot drinks and alcoholic drinks are available to complement your meal as well. A good place to have a sit down and refuel on the Royal Mile.

Lovely handmade furniture with polite and quick service that proved willing to answer questions and office advice. And tasty haggis!

You have to go there, firstly for the kindness of the staff

Had traditional haggis neeps and tatties with the mustard sauce and I was very impressed with the flavor! Front counter clerk was very helpful in making the decision.

Beautiful location. Certainly a good Haggis. Best in town? No, but still excellent.

A different experience, minimalist local but as always very attentive and friendly. Great food and also the price. We ate at the premises but you can also take it away.

Very good Haggis and the place is beautiful 🤩 Great location too.

Absolutely perfect. Lovely and helpful staff. Very good haggis, both real and vegetarian! Thank you again for your kindness!

The plate is mini. Literally for the same price I ate plates (also haggis neeps & tatties) up to three times bigger in all the pubs/restaurants around. In terms of taste, it is even worse than others. I ordered it with the whiskey and mustard sauce and it is delicious, but it is inferior to all the nearby bars. The atmosphere is not comfortable to be in (it is to eat and leave immediately). At least they give you food quickly

Got the traditional haggis with the whiskey and mustard sauce. First time eating haggis, very rich, hearty and interesting flavors. Staff is efficient and super friendly.

It was the first time I tasted Haggis and I guess it was quite high class. However, the food was generally too poorly salted, so I had to add salt myself. But it rarely turns out completely well if you add salt to the food afterwards. However, the taste was much better after I added salt. If it hadn't been for the low saltiness in the dish, I would probably have given a higher rating because I think it was a very good Haggis. I ordered with Whiskey and mustard sauce and it was really good! The venue was probably a bit dreary, but there was still plenty of room. And the staff was nice.

Great vegan haggis including really good mashed potatoes. The staff was super welcoming and friendly, and prices were descent. My partner had the "real" haggis and was delighted as well. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to try a Scottish delicacy while in Edinburgh.

Very good Haggis, friendly staff

Amazing place. My first time trying haggis and i really loved it. We visited during the fringe festival and cought some old Scottish poetry reading too.

Excellent cafe. Vegetarian haggis was very nice. The service is excellent.

First time to have Haggis and it was delicious. Got it with the mustard sauce and found it very good.

Bought haggis takeaway. Got vegetarian haggis ☹️

Coffee, cake and haggis. All were perfect! With friendly staff and a delicious lunch, a must stop for anyone visiting edinburgh.

I wanted to try it when I was in Scotland: very tasty

The vegan haggis was excellent! Same with the desserts. So happy!!! Thank you to the lovely gent for the recommendations

The haggis was delicious! The staff was friendly.. apart from the haggis, had a couple of pints of beer too. Great gluten free option in Edinburgh!

Delicious Haggi! The quiche is also really really good! Tip: Ask the sauce beside, in my opinion haggi is better without the sauce

WOW. I was so excited yo try gluten free haggis, and my boyfriend liked it so much he got a second entrée. Will absolutely be back, so impressed.

Design place to taste a good Haggis. It's their specialty. Low price. Ask for the sauce separately to measure it as desired. Friendly welcome.

I visited to enjoy Scotland's famous haggis. When I ate haggis for the first time, both the taste and texture were wonderful. It went perfectly with the Scottish pale ale recommended by the staff. The staff was polite and helpful, and the staff who were studying Japanese spoke to me in a friendly manner, making the meal enjoyable.

Try the special local food and this beer is full of flavor and smooth to drink.

Delicious Haggis. Quiet place without tourists. It has surprised us. They have been very kind to us.

Our first time trying haggis, and we loveeee it. We are not into mustard, so we order with red wine gravy and it's perfect. We're glad we order it here instead of somewhere else which might be too fancy. The owner is very helpful and tell us about this dishes since it's our first time trying. The building is inside the Scottish Storytelling Center. It's £10 for the haggis and £1.5 for the gravy.

You can enjoy a traditional Scottish dish called Haggis. Recommended for people who want to enjoy food in a short time and at a low price. The taste was good and the staff was kind.

Nice place and nice discovery that this Haggi is really a very good dish!

I don't have much to compare it to because this is only my second haggis, but as much as I liked it, it was cheap.

Driven by the curiosity to taste haggins and by the good reviews of this place, we chose it to taste this local specialty without necessarily having to go to a pub for lunch or dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by the strong but very good taste of this dish, so much so that I would have immediately had another portion! If I were to return to Edinburgh I would definitely return to this place!

Super delicious veggie haggis. Friendly service and a great break beyond the tourist restaurants.

Great little place for a quick bite to eat and a drink. We had haggis, neeps and tatties with the whiskey sauce and it was delicious! Highly recommend, and great service too.

It's great to try Huggies at a really friendly and reasonable price!! He explained it in detail and it was my first time trying Haggis and I was lucky to be able to eat it at this restaurant🍀 It was fun because it was similar to Korean sundae and yet different!

I did not like the food and it is not worth the visit Overpriced and not even worth it Food is small amount and tasteless

The exterior doesn't give amazing lunch spot but it certainly is. It's a gem on the royal mile and I recommended it to many people staying at my hostel, especially those wanting to try the traditional haggis, neeps, and tatties. It's a very busy place during lunch and it can be a challenge to find a seat but it moves quickly so often something will pop up. Love the shortbread as well!! Thanks!!! 🙏🏾

Very tasty haggis and soup at a reasonable price...absolutely recommended for lunch

Very good, mild haggis and a very nice, quiet place

Brilliant cafe, a real hidden gem. A second away from all the tourists attractions but with normal prices and beautiful art. What more could you want!

It was really nice for us: we wanted Haggis in an unconventional atmosphere - it felt like backstage at a gallery. Large, bright room with an exhibition all around. Also very tasty and prices are great! The lady at the cafeteria-like counter was very nice, the waiter served with a smile and joy

My first time tasting haggis neep and tatters with whisky sauce much better than I thought it was going to be

Belter Haggis, Neeps & Tatties 😋 Perfect bit of grub to smash and go🚶🏻‍♂️‍➡️

Cute place with super friendly owners. Stopped in to get a haggis to go and the service was quick and the haggis was excellent! If you’re looking for haggis definitely stop by.

I’m not sure if this is how haggis always tastes, but it is delicious here!!

Absolutely loved my experience here! Was recommended this spot to try haggis, neeps and tatties and so glad I took it on. I’m not a huge fan of creamy things but the whiskey sauce was perfectly balanced and not too heavy or salty and everything went so well together! The service was probably the friendliest I encountered in Edinburgh and it’s such a cosy space that puts on storytelling events as well! 🩵

Service was friendly, suggested the Whiskey Mustard sauce. Haggis was adequate, but for £10 the portion was fairly small, would be nice to have it a little bigger.

I tried the haggis, neeps, and tatties which was gluten-free. It did not have a lot of flavor and seemed a wee bit bland on its own. I poured the whiskey mustard sauce it came with over the top and it gave the haggis more flavor. The place was clean and ample seating.

Very nice service and really damn good haggis. Highly recommended... We took two straight away to try both sauces...

Excellent haggis, veggie haggis, quiche and gingerbread. We especially enjoyed the whisky and mustard sauce on the haggis. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

I liked the place and the personal. The vegetarian haggis was a disappointment, it's only dry lentils. The sauce was good.

Enjoyed trying haggis for the first time at this place. The nice person behind the counter made my family more comfortable in giving it a try as well. Overall great food, great experience and plenty of places to sit and eat unlike other places around Edinburgh.

Excellent experience. We love traditional haggis with whiskey sauce. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. I recommend stopping for haggis after walking the Royal mille

First stay in Scotland and the reviews made me decide to come and try my first Haggis here. The staff is lovely and gives you very good information in your choice. I found it delicious as well as the Scotch eggs. I warmly recommend this establishment.

A wonderful place to visit! It made our staying in Scotland even more unforgettable😊

Delicious haggis also scotch egg (the chips surprisingly good)

🍽️ The most delicious haggis!!!!!! it was our first time trying haggis and it didn’t disappoint! 👏🏼 The staff were amazing! They helped us decide what to order and made great suggestions! 🏠 The restaurant is very cosy! Loved the ambiance! 💸 Great prices!! One of our cheapest meals in Edinburgh!! Around 10£ per person!

Great food, good location and lovely coffee.

First time trying Haggis. Staff were very friendly and recommend ways on how to try them for a first timer.

I went here to try haggis for the first time and it was an absolute splendid choice, staff were super friendly and the hot chocolate was gorgeous , a little gem!

Liked the staff, really polite and energetic!

I had haggis and scotch eggs for lunch. It was both our first time trying this dish and it suited our tastes. Haggis has a different taste from sundae, but I can't explain it. The Scotch eggs came out cold, so I looked it up and found that Scotch eggs are usually eaten cold. The sauce was red wine gravy, and it came to a total of 24 pounds including cola. The staff were friendly and we ate well.

Don't be fooled, you're not looking for a food truck. The haggis box is located in what seemed to be an artist/theatre building. Staff were so nice and a great way to try haggis! Got ours with whiskey mustard sauce. Served on a bed of turnips and mash. Delightful 🥰 I got regular and friends gluten allergy was well looked after too. Had a delicious shortbread to follow too 🤤 thanks all!

The staff are great first of all,but from a Scottish man's point of view,I found it underwhelming it's not seasoned very well,the haggis had no real spice to itfor my liking,but I suppose the tourists would like it

Really nice food and good portions for lunch.

Lovely place, warm welcome, great food and atmosphere

Delicious haggis made with local products and served by very kind staff. I tried the vegetarian version and found it of top quality. Thank you everybody on duty today. ❤️

I came to try the gluten-free Haggis because I have celiac disease and Adams was super kind explaining everything to me (in perfect Spanish too!), they have two separate areas to cook food with and without gluten and it is super delicious! I recommend it 100%

The atmosphere is like the town hall canteen. But the haggis was delicious. And that's the point.

Great place to try haggis at a reasonable price. The staff is super friendly. Get the 🥃 sauce pleaseeee
